New Tools for Psychoanalysis
Bringing together the findings from psychoanalysts across the globe, this book introduces and describes the research practices utilised by the Working Parties that were created by the European Psychoanalytical Federation and later supported by the International Psychoanalytical Association. The book opens with a discussion of the epistemology of research in psychoanalysis, then the various Working Parties describe their methodology and findings, and finally, in the last chapter, an assessment is made of what contributions this oxygenating movement has made to psychoanalysis. It examines topics including individual and group work, supervision, clinical interpretation, erotic transference and psychosomatics, and contains contributions from many distinguished analysts. Providing a wealth of information on the place of research in evaluating new clinical methods and tools, this book is key reading for psychoanalysts both in practice and in training.
The Political Clinic
For decades, psychoanalysis has provided essential concepts and methodologies for critical theory and the humanities and social sciences. But it is also, inseparably, a clinical practice and technique for treatment. In what ways is clinical practice significant for critical thought? What conceptual resources does the clinic hold for us today? Carolyn Laubender examines cases from Britain and its former colonies to show that clinical psychoanalytic practice constitutes a productive site for novel political thought, theorization, and action. She delves into the clinical work of some of the British Psychoanalytic Society’s most influential practitioners—including Anna Freud, Melanie Klein, ...
Tangent e
Tangente 1 is the first in a series of exhibitions that invites artists to create new work in response to a corpus of photographs selected from the Canadian Centre for Architectures collection. In a provocative installation, Quebec artist Alain Paiement juxtaposes a wide range of photographic subjects from the collection--buildings under construction, models of student work, architectural abstractions, different levels of transparency--with his own imagery of the new Palais des Congres de Montreal.
Le triangle primaire
Imaginez une mère et son bébé dans la cuisine un dimanche matin. Le bébé, une petite fille, a mangé et, toute contente, se lance dans un jeu de dialogue avec sa mère sous les yeux bienveillants de son père. Puis elle le regarde d’un air engageant et c’est alors son tour de « parler » avec elle. Profondément émue par leur complicité, la mère les regarde avec ravissement. Ils se mettent alors à dialoguer tous les trois ensemble. Pour finir, la petite fille se retire et ses parents émettent des commentaires enthousiastes sur sa beauté et son intelligence, qu’elle se met à suivre avec une expression d’intérêt… Depuis la première parution du Triangle Primaire, en 19...
Réinventer les relations familiales
Pour diverses raisons, il arrive que les relations familiales dégénèrent en de véritables routines autodestructives, causes de situations personnelles et interpersonnelles désagréables à court comme à long terme. Lorsque cela se produit, les membres de la famille semblent profondément ancrés dans un rôle, rejouant jour après jour le même scénario, le même script. S’inspirant de la théorie de l’attachement, John Byng-Hall développe ici la notion de « scripts familiaux » – véritables modèles intériorisés implicites, propres à chaque famille et définissant les rôles familiaux de chacun de ses membres – afin d’identifier les mécanismes en présence lorsque le...
Victor Burgin’s Parzival in Leuven
In-depth analysis of Victor Burgin’s video installation Parzival (2013) In commemoration of the destruction of the University Library of Leuven (Belgium) in August 1914, the projection work Parzival, created by Victor Burgin (°UK, 1941) in 2013, was installed within the rebuilt Library. The installation uniquely marked the 100th anniversary of the beginning of World War I, which left its profound traces on both the consciousness and physiognomy of the city of Leuven. Burgin’s reflection on Richard Wagner’s opera Parsifal (premiere 1882) combines the artist’s computer modelled images (a bombed out street, a sunset meadow, a Venetian palazzo, …) with citations from Roberto Rossellin...
Psychical Realism
Comprehensive overview of a highly influential contemporary artist’s work Victor Burgin counts among the most versatile figures within art and visual culture since the late 1960s. His artwork both connects with and reacts to minimalism, conceptual art, staged photography, appropriation art, video art and, more recently, computer-based imaging. As a scholar his thinking is informed by phenomenology, semiotics, poststructuralism, feminist theory, and psychoanalysis. This monograph provides a comprehensive and unique overview of Victor Burgin’s body of work over the past five decades. Identifying the concept of ‘psychical realism’ as an overarching umbrella term, Alexander Streitberger ...
Psychoanalytic and Anthropological Considerations of Gilgamesh
The Gilgamesh Epic—a myth dating back almost 5000 years—has been handed down from ancient Babylonian times in several fragments. It is the heroic story of a futile quest for physical immortality and the problems of life that confront us in relation to our own mortality. It gives us insight into conscious and unconscious experiences of power and sexuality and struggles to overcome the ‘human condition’. This book considers the basic text of the myth in the light of anthropological and psychoanalytic concepts, comparing socio-cultural factors and the interpersonal structures of these times with those of the present day. Myths portray human struggles against overpowering opponents, the search for immortality or eternal youth and even journeys into the underworld. As such, they have always had a therapeutic and educational potential. As this book shows, they are the powerful, creative expression of human experiences and longings, seeking to alleviate life’s difficulties and transmitting values.
